The Bureau of Industry and Security,

13(c) of the Export Administration Act
of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. app.
§§ 2401–2420 (2000)) (‘‘Act’’),2 by
issuing a proposed charging letter to
K.V. Rao that alleged that K.V. Rao
committed two violations of the
Regulations. Specifically, the charges
are:
1. One Violation of 15 CFR 764.2(d)—
Conspiracy to Export Toxins to North
Korea Without the Required License:
Beginning in or about late 2000 and
continuing into September 2002, K.V.
Rao conspired and acted in concert with
others, known and unknown, to export
toxins from the United States to North
Korea without the required Department
of Commerce license. The goal of the
conspiracy was to obtain certain toxins,
including Aflatoxin (M1, P1, Q1) and
Staphyloccocal Enterotoxin (A and B),
items subject to the Regulations and
classified under export control
classification number (‘‘ECCN’’) 1C351,
on behalf of a North Korean end-user
and to export those toxins to North
Korea. In furtherance of the conspiracy,
K.V. Rao negotiated with individuals
from North Korea to acquire the toxins
and developed a plan to deliver the
toxins from the United States to North
Korea. Contrary to Section 742.2 of the
Regulations, no Department of
Commerce license was obtained for the
export of toxins from the United States
to North Korea.
2. One Violation of 15 CFR 764.2(c)—
Soliciting an Export of Toxins Without
the Required License: In or about late
2000 through in or about September
2002, K.V. Rao solicited a violation of
the Regulations by enlisting others to
acquire toxins, including Aflatoxin (M1,
1 The violations charged occurred in 2000
through 2002. The Regulations governing the
violations at issue are found in the 2000 through
2002 versions of the Code of Federal Regulations
(15 CFR parts 730–774 (2000–2002)). The 2005
Regulations establish the procedures that apply to
this matter.
2 From August 21, 1994 through November 12,
2000, the Act was in lapse. During that period, the
President, through Executive Order 12924, which
has been extended by successive Presidential
Notices, the last of which was August 3, 2000 (3
CFR 2000 Comp. 397 (2001)), continued the
Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–
1706 (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’). On November 13, 2000, the
Act was reauthorized and it remained in effect
through August 20, 2001. Since August 21, 2001,
the Act has been in lapse and the President, through
Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR
2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has been extended
by successive presidential notices, the most recent
being that of August 2, 2005 (70 FR 45273 (August
